Military espionage Is. of course, a
delicate subject, and it would be a
gross violation of international pro
priety for any government to admit
that it had secret agents spying on Its
neighbors. However, Ittoa weli’kimwn
fact that this system exists.
Ia 1607 an American ambassador nt
a foreign capital reported to the state
department that an army officer of the
country to which be was accredited
had been detailed to visit the a men. m
countries secretly to ascertain th.,
strength of their forces. His mission
was thwarted. however, by tbe Infor

tbe spy with a veil of mystery and
a snperualurnl cleverness which en
ables him to get out of all dangerous
pitfalls into which be falls. But the
real flesh and blood spy to a different
person. In these days of modern and
scientific warfare the spy has become
a technical expert who must be thor
oughly versed in every branch of Ids
art. He must be tactful and above all
dees mouthed.

Japan’s Snappins Turtle Farm.
One of the oddest farms in the worM
turns out each year tens of thousands
of snapping turtles and has solved the
problem of preserving the supply of
what is to the Japanese as great
a delicacy as diamond back terra
pin is to some Americans. This queer
farm consists of a number of ponds.
Certain of them are set apart as breed
ing ponds. Once a day a man goes
over the shores and with little wire
baskets covers up all new egg de
posits. Sometimes thousands of these
wire baskets are in sight at a time
marking the places where the eggs lie

the earth from them. Hatching re

soon as they appear are put in separate
small ponds and are fed with finely
chopped fish. They eat this during
September and October and late in
October burrow in the mud for the
winter, coming out in April or May.
Most of them are sold in the market
when they are from three to five years
old. at which time they are most deli

A Resourceful Badger.
Au English artist while painting a
sea piece discovered a badger's lair and
thought to play the animal a practical
joke. Gathering together a bundle of
grass and weeds, he placed It inside
tbe mouth of the hole and. Igniting It
with a match, waited for tbeIgnomini
ous flight of tbe astonished household
er. But Master Badger was a resource
ful animal and not disposed to be
made a butt of practical jokers. He
came up from the depths of his bole
as soon as the penetrating smoke told
him that there was a Are on the prem
ises and deliberately scratched earth
on the burning grass wlih bls strong
claws until all danger was past. No
human being could have grasped tbe
situation more quickly or displayed
greater skill in dealing with an uu
familiar event.
Building a Reputation.
Young physicians in tbe smaller
. towns have an idea that appearing
very busy will help them greatly in
starting a practice. The following is
told by a now prominent Kentucky
physician. He had a call the after-
noon following tbe banging out of bls
shingle and started through town In
his buggy at terrific speed. A police
man stopped the enterprising physi
cian..
“Doctor," he said, "it is against the
city ordinance to drive at the speed
you are going. You must accompany
me to tbe judge and pay your fine.”
“What Is the fine?” inquired the
doctor.
“Five dollars.”
Tbe doctor's hand flew to his pocket.
"Here's $10. I have to come back just
as fast as I am going.”—Success Maga

The Kingdom of God Or An Aris
tocracy.
The first thing God said to Adam
and Eve was to increase and multi
ply and replenish the earth, and
the next was to have dominion.
The only difference I can see is
that an aristocracy places do
minion first, and the kingdom of
God, human life, next. If every man
' could comply with the require
ments of God by raising a family
, from the time he is twenty until he
is forty there would be no aris
tocracy.
The most unfortunate
thing that has ever occurred to
America was when our forefathers
abandoned the kingdom of God,
and acceped the arguments of an
aristocracy that a man should not
marry until he is able to support a
home. The cage before the bird,
but most men find that by the time
they have saved enough to possess
a suitable home they have passed
the forty mark.
The kingdom of God is based on
equality, while an aristocracy is
for lords and serfs, one lord to a
million serfs, the one made miser
able by luxury, the masses by want
and destitution.
It is said that a thousand men
once owned Mexico, the garden
spot of the world.
Rebellion only
makes'a bad matter worse, for so
long as a nation adopts the princi
ples of an aristocracy, the rich will
become richer and the poor, poorer.
Socialism, unionism, politics, all
have to bow to Sn aristocracy.
The kingdom of God is the only
thing that can cope with an arris-
tocracy. Instead of America being
filled with the slums of Europe,
Asia and Africa and Mexico, it
should have been repopulated by
Americans. The most undesirable
people that can be found are im
ported by the million annually in
the interest of a Godless aris
tocracy.
